Silent Data, a new Ethereum Layer 2 network developed by Applied Blockchain, has become the first chain centered on privacy to join the Superchain, said the company in a press release on Wednesday.
Built in the OP Stack, the London -based project is designed to allow organizations to execute blockchain applications without exposing confidential information, combining what it calls “programmable privacy” with scalability, performance and regulatory alignment.
OP OP stack is the open source development stack that feeds the optimism block chain.
“Taking advantage of the OP stack allows us to integrate into an ecosystem of robust and widely adopted layer 2,” said the founder and CEO of Blockchain, Adi Ben-Ari, in the statement.
A layer 1 is the base layer or the underlying infrastructure of a block chain. Capa 2 refers to a set of systems outside the separate chain or blockchains built at the top of layer 1.
The Superchain, an ecosystem of more than 30 layers of layer 2, includes the Coinbase base, Op Mainnet, Kraken’s Ink, Sony’s Soneium, Uniswap’s Unichain and World Chain.
Silent Data is the first to introduce a privacy wrap, allowing confidential workloads to be executed in the chain without losing transparency or composition.
The project was recently launched with an application library enabled by privacy and is already being tested in several industries.
Companies that explore their use include Tokeny, a company of the Apex and Archax group in real world assets; Shell in energy trade; and Cyopdp, a subsidiary of DHL Health Logistics, in medical care and supply chain management.
Its battery can also be adopted by other projects or projects of Superchain Layer 2 that seek to implement their own Rollups, which indicates a broader movement to carry privacy ready for the company to the Blockchain infrastructure, the firm said.
